The following pictures are all
real photo's of fake re-enactments or poses. Some are clearly posed and
others are from pageant displays. If you have any photo's of this nature
then please send them to me for inclusion. Even though we know they are
all fake, I still quite enjoy the fact that people will partake in this
for the sake of a cracking good photo opportunity!

The next batch of pictures are
very special indeed. They are from a regular event
called "Hussittenfestspiel" which takes place in Bernau, a
small village near the German capital Berlin.
In a procession through the town, episodes from the history of Bernau
are displayed on decorated floats, and included are those of witch burnings
of the late middle ages. Many thanks to Bernd for sending me these
excellent photo's and allowing me to display them. (Bernd originally
contacted me after seeing two of his pictures in the above gallery. The
following are much higher quality)

This last picture
was also sent to me by Bernd, but does not show the same pageant (quite
obviously). Instead it is a ceremony from Berlin re-enacting a witch burning.
Before hand I am told the witch was stripped naked and humiliated before
being tied to the stake. Unfortunately photo's of this were not allowed.
A great photo anyway - many thanks Bernd.

I stumbled across this great series whilst
searching for manip material (very fortunate!). I decided to include all
of the 'setting up' shots as I though they all looked like they were
having fun setting up a BATS scene. Of course the last one is a
manipulation......or is it ????

The last four pictures here interested me greatly
because they are from a historical torture museum in Russia where the
general public can actually partake in the various torture devices. Many
thanks to Alex from Moscow for the many pictures and info supplied.

This next set of pictures are from a re-enactment,
and although the fire is obviously quite far away I still think they look
really cool - and of course the 'witches' are very attractive which
helps.Many thanks to Alex from Moscow these pictures.

Three very sexy
and atmospheric pictures of a re-enactment. Many
thanks to Alex from Moscow these pictures - I do hope things are looking up
for you friend.
